inside were being shot. law enforcement facing tough questions this morning about what more could have been done to stop that massacre. >> joining us now, kaylee hartung live in parkland. what has the response been there from what we're learning? >> reporter: disappointment. students and teachers feel like they were failed by several men who had sworn an oath to protect them. broward county sheriff scott israel says he was sick to his stomach when he first saw surveillance video that showed one of his deputies, a man assigned for 30 years on the force, to be the resource officer to protect students on that campus. sheriff watched video that showed that man stand outside the 1200 building of stoneman douglas for upwards of four minutes while students and teachers were attacked by gunfire outside. but in addition to that, we're learning from sources close to the coral springs police department that they were surprised when they arrived on the scene to find three other

broward county deputies behind their patrol cals with their weapons drawn. that means four men with the opportunity to go in that building failed to do so, they failed the students and teachers. and this information and the emotions that students and teachers are feeling as a result of it compounded by the fact that we are learning more about the killer. we've heard students and neighbori neighbors tell stories and we're hearing about his mental state from him for the very first time. let me take you back to november. his mother had just died. he moved in with some family friends. there was an altercation betweey he was living wrks the mother of that family called 911 as did the killer moments later. listen to both calls. >> 9d11, how can i help you? >> there was a fight in my house with a kid and my son.

>> okay. >> punching him and that's when he left the house. but i need somebody here because i'm afraid he comes back and he has a lot of weapons. >> what kind of weapons? >> what kind of weapons did he get? >> and who did this? >> nikolas cruz. it's not the first time he's pointed a gun at somebody's head. >> 911. >> i was just assaulted. someone tried to attack me. i don't know where i am. i'm new in the area. the thing is, i lost my mother a couple weeks ago. so i'm dealing with a bunch of things right now. and then a kid threw me on the ground and kicked me out of

house. >> reporter: there you have the killer describing his emotional state after having one of those outbursts we've learned he was prone to have. and i should mention the surveillance tapes from last wednesday are currently being reviewed and sources tell us to expect a report likely next week. >> kaylee hartung for us in park land. thank you. and florida governor rick scott says that he wants to raise the minimum age to buy a rifle from 18 years old to 21. that is a stance that the nra does not support. here is how one student survivor reacted to it. >> i do think that they are good first steps. very strong first steps actually. and a lot of us in this community are happy to hear that this is starting to move in a good direction. but it's not enough. as of yet, it is not enough. there need to be more regulations on the semi automatic weapons themselves. >> joining us now,

counterterrorism analyst phil mudd. >> and also don shomet, a school violence and safety expert. we appreciate you both being here. phil, i want to get to you because we need to get to this news that there were four deputies outside the school who did not go into it as the shooting happened. is there anything that you know of instance where that would have been protocol? >> when you look at a variety of things we've seen here, both the fbi tape that you are aware of, the call into the fbi call center in west virginia and the reaction of the deputies, there is one question that anybody who searched in the national security our local security position has to deal with and that is, is there policy, protocol and training to deal with these situations. i've got to believe in both of those, both the fbi calls and the deputies response to the school, that there is specific training and protocol to deal with these and that that protocol was violated in both

circumstances. so you go back and say let me be blunt, if i were in the same circumstance, am i sure that i would have the courage to go in that school. i think that is the judgment we'll see in the coming days, not whether they had a policy or protocol that directed them to go into the school once they knew there was an active shooter. i suspect that that is what their policy said they should have breached the school walls. >> codon, what is your assessme of the president's proposal to rm at teachers, not the security garts because they don't know them, but teachers and train them properly? >> i think when it comes to arming the teachers, i don't think it is 10% or 20%. i think twlld be a far fewer number than that that would like to do it. i think if you were to arm the teacher, 2it would end up additional safety filters and layers. so there may be some positive benefits to it. but i think the hurdles to tilly

made it happen and this is what superintendents come to me about, they say i hear what you are recommending, but how do i implement it. i think trying to implement it inside the school would be incredibly difficult and hurdles would be huge. >> don, i wanted to ask you too about resource officers. this was a very large school. do you ever give guidance to schools about how many resource officers they should have per the number of students they have in the school? >> well, typically what it is, we always try to get as many school resource officers as we possible can. if you are looking at a school with 3,000, i would say probably the national average would be anywhere between at least one to probably two. if it is a high school. now, the problem with a lot of it is the budget, funding and actually getting people in there. so what you will have in a district, you may have one officer in a high school, one in a middle school and then one who

cove covers six, seven elementary. so with a school this big, you would want to have possibly two. budget restraints typically on average i'd say it's usually one and all the rest of the schools end up having a urge can ever one officer covering many. >> phil, in recent years we've had -- the public has had to learn these new terms. soft target versus hard target. and the president is now calling for the hardening of schools, the nra calling for the hardening of schools using the same terminology. can schools be fortified? >> i don't think they can. look, you're not talking about schools. you are talking about federal buildings, airports, train stations. we're talking about schools now. when you think about hardening facilities, and you look at the post-9/11 environment, you multiply the facilities by the thousands. you are not just talking about

security officers in those facilities, you are talking about things like metal detectors. for a high school, i live a couple blocks frarp a middle scho from a ilgd in schoomiddle scho talking about acres of land to ensure students only go through one entry point. do you know the kotcosts? we better ensure that we are also talking about bus stations, train stations, federal facilities. i don't think americans recognize when they talk about hardening facilities what they are asking for. i'm not sure it is doable. >> and i wanted to ask you about the sound that we just heard there on the 911 call. when you have a woman warning the fbi that somebody will explode, that they will shoot up a school, how is it that something like that gets closed within an hour? >> i can't answer that question. nobody i've spoken with since the days that has come out can answer that question. you have specificity, you have someone who is credible. i think what we'll find is that

the fbi had a protocol for dealing with this and that protocol was violated in this circumstance. there is not an explanation for this one. >> can i add something? >> go ahead. >> i'd like to add something. every school attacker has a commonalty whether they are in america or any other country. every school attacker travel down what is called the path of try lens. it is a very disdink stages. idea, plan, prepare and act. typically a school attacker i've found none that have done this path of violence less than three months. meaning they have spent three months planning, preparing. most are seven or eight. columbine is approximately nine months. when i think about what happened with the fbi, the phrase is that they only have to get it right one time. we have to get it right every time. and when i think about that phone call and the information coming in, i wondered if those folks who received it understood that every school attacker travels down the path of

violence. random violence, two people get in a fight, damage can be done. but the folks attacking us, they are picking a school, a person, a group and attacking our building. if you don't know the right questions to ask, if you look at this and you say, well, there was a fight at home, now, at home nikolas cruz used violence to get what he wants. that makes him a threat. the only question is what risk level. if you are trained and you know what to look for because all these people moved down the path of violence, they all give off the same common full behaviors. if we can train our folks to look at that and see it, i think they will realize this is not just random violence. i don't know. but i wonder if the folks getting these tips and information this they understand that they are dealing with targeted swri lens instead of random violence. >> hopefully we're having those conversations now after the red flags and missed opportunities. thank you both. so even nra has supported

is to come on paul manmanafort. gates says he wouldn't be fighting the charges against him. he may test tie against mify ag as well. spot light firmly on the trump campaign this morning. abby phillip is live for on us. >> reporter: that's right, yet another trump associate pleading guilty to charges in the investigation. it really tightens the circle around paul manafort, chairman -- former chairman of the trump campaign who was a long time business associates of rick gates. and now that gates is cooperating with mueller, he is likely to provide documentation and perhaps testimony that could help them perhaps get the corporate cooperation of manafort in a critical piece of this investigation, which is what happened during the campaign as it relates to the russia investigation. gates is the third trump

campaign associates to plead guilty and all three have pled to particular type of charge which is lying to the fbi, former national security adviser michael flynn and george papadopoulous a former adviser on national security to the trump campaign now rick gate, all three pleading guilty to avoid potential jail times as a result of their statements to the fbi. and other charges that would have been brought against them. the white house is saying on all of this that most -- all of these charges have nothing to do with president trump or the trump campaign specifically in the sense that they relate to the business dealings that they were engaged in before the campaign even began. but clearly the mueller investigation is moving toward a target which is the people who would know the most about the inner workings of the trump campaign. >> so abby, what if anything is the white house saying about the status of jared kushner's security clearance? friday was an important day.

>> reporter: that's right. the white house is really not saying anything at all. friday was the day that these new rules put in place by john kelly to redistrict access of classified information for people like kushner who have interim security clearances. those rules went into place yesterday, but the white house won't say who they will affect. kushner is having a lot of trouble getting his security clearance. cnn has reported that this ongoing mueller investigation is making it more difficult for the fbi to clear the issues that they have had with his background check and as a result he is not expected to get his clearance anytime soon. and in the meantime, he has a portfolio of issues under his belt that include middle east peace and also regularly viewing the presidential daily briefing which is a significantly classified document that the president gets about active intelligence matters on a daily basis. so the issue here is what will john kelly decide. president trump was asked about this in a press conference

yesterday and he said jared kushner is a good man, he has done great work for me, but i'll legal john kelly decide what happens to him. we are waiting to find out what that decision is and what kind of accommodation they can make that could potentially allow kushner to continue with his job but fall under the umbrella of rules that kelly is trying to put in place to avoid another situation in which you have dozens of white house staffers working on these sensitive matters without the appropriate clearances. >> a small space to create for jared kushner and the others working in the white house. abby phillip, thank you. and sarah, i want to talk more about where i can garick g manafort because we know the prosecution youts loutlined mon dering, foreign lobbying work that they did prior to 2015, two people who have been together for a long time and gates continued his time with president trump even after paul

man for tafort left. so is there is a sense that what gates has to offer could really expand far beyond manafort? >> well, we just don't know if there is anything that gates can offer on the question of collusion which still hasn't been answered. there hasn't been any evidence really to suggest that took place. but we know that this puts manafort in a difficult position because most of what is alleged that these two men did, they did in concert with each other. so if one of them is admitting guilt in some or all of these charges, that really puts the other one in a difficult position to try to deny those allegations. so for manafort, i think this is a worst case scenario. >> and manafort did release a statement saying he continues to maintain his innocence, and i had hoped my business dole leag colleague f colleague had the strength to continue the battle.

does he know the reasons or is he waiting to hear himself? what sense did you get? >> it is not clear -- to me it reads like the two haven't been in contact with each other throughout this journey. it is not surprising to learn that gates didn't alert manafort in advance that he was planning to in a sense betray his former business partner to try to save himself twr what could from wha very punishing sentence. the fact mueller is pressing ahead with applying new layers of indictments against these two men suggest that he is turning up the pressure, maybe he wants to learn something new from manafort and gates, maybe he wants to push them toward a plea deal to try to convict them. we don't know what mueller's aim is because mueller is so good at keeping his cards close to the vest. >> i want to talk about the security clearance, the importance of yesterday. let's listen to sarah huckabee

sanders, what she said about jared kushner specifically. >> i can tell you chief of staff kelly said last week jared is an important and valued member of the administration. and the role that he plays both on overseeing the israeli/palestinian negotiations won't change. as well as his role in negotiating and helping develop relationships with mexico. those are the two bigger things in his portfolio and those won't be impacted as the chief said last week. >> so if he has limited security clearance, how are those relationships she just spoke of and the tasks that he has on his plate, how are they not affected? >> it's difficult to see kushner maintaining the broad portfolio that he has without a security clearance just because he is constantly dealing in matters of foreign policy that would

presumably include some national security information that would be classified. there are things in kushner's portfolio that wouldn't lend itself to having to deal with classified information like head of the office of american innovation which dealt with streamlining government that was one of his early tasks. so what we may see if he does have access to classified information suspended is a reduction in his portfolio, but we don't know what john kelly will decide. >> and the question is, will president trump personally intervene here in some way? how much concern is there for that? >> well, i think that trump may certainly pressure kelly into making a decision that spreefs s preserve's kushner's access, but it would be hard for trump to say publicly that he is going to intervene. and if kelly decides unfavorably, that would seem to be a contradiction from what he said in the press conference. so that would put trump in a

difficult position. >> is there any real sense in washington, because jared kushner is far from the only on person who has limited security clearance here, how effective these people can be at their jobs without all of that information? >> i think kushner is a special case because he is so close to the president personally. he is the son-in-law and president trump has relied on kushner since the early days of the campaign. so he is not just someone who can be discarded gau he doesn. is for other aides without that personal relationship, it would seem to make sense that their jobs could be in jeopardy because you want someone in those positions that can access classified information. >> all right. always good to see you. thank you. and in the context of guns and gun safety and gun control, this is a moment in this country. we don't know if there will be any fruit from this moment, but there is a critical conversation

of the hands of anyone under 21, so will lawmakers actually take that issue up? john cornyn says that is not where their focus should be. >> i think what we ought to focus on is things that will actually save lives. that's why i think the focus should be on the fix n.i.c.s. bill which is the only bipartisan piece of legislation that can be signed into law. there are a lot of other ideas out there that people are proposing. but i don't think will actually change any outcome. and so i prefer to focus on things that will actually save lives and will affect outcomes. >> joining me now is republican state senator for georgia michael williams and also an opinion columnist for the hill oi. michael, let me start with you.

and i hope it is okay -- i'll try to remember to call you senator, but you've been here many times. let's start with the proposal from the president. first raising the purchase age to 21. what is your view? >> first of all, kind of like what we heard the gentleman say before, in-we need to focus on issues that will protect our children. i have a daughter in high school right now. so we need to focus on real issues. that is why i proposed a plan that would protect our schools and big part of that is giving our teachers the opportunity to protect themselves in the event another tragedy like this happens. >> and just your answer if you support the plan of raising the rifle purchase age to 21. >> i don't think that will save lives and we need to save lives. >> i think it will save lives and i support it like most americans. >> all right. let's go to the second one. bump stocks. the president has urged or at

least directed the attorney general to begin working on a plan to ban the sale of bump stocks, he referred to as something that will turn semi automatic weapon into a machine gun. i want to show people who on your website, senator, you are running for governor here in georgia. and this is a giveaway you have. enter to win a bump stock. and this started if i remember correctly after a bump stock was used in the shooting in las vegas that ended with the deaths of more than 50 people and injuries of more than 5500. >> again, talking about banning bump stock is nothing more than a political game, a political employ. because you can use a rubber band to do the exact same thing that a bump stock would do. so if you are going to ban bump stocks, ban rubber bands as well.

so i don't think banning bump stocks is the issue. >> rubber band, bump stock, no difference? >> i think bump stocks will pass. i agree with most americans. victor, real quick, you said something that was profound that there is a new day that this is a great moment. i just want to say this the young people, the students in florida and around the country who are backing them are changing america, changing the word, changing the politics. and i'm going to have a column in the hill calling for those students and students around the world to be nominated for the nobel peace prize because they are teaching their elders a lesson about freedom and democracy and right and wrong and protecting michael's young daughter and all the other young daughters and sons all over america. these kids make america browapr they are the future 6 america whether fighting for protecting their kids in schools or democracy in china and russia. i hope that somebody out there will nominate them for the nobel peace prize and if you do, let

me know and i'll put you at the top of my column and make you a star. >> let me get your reaction to the nra. wayne lapierre said the people who are politicians, he called the ones calling for stricter gun controls and background checks, he said quote hate individual freedom. >> they embody the best of the individual freedom. he also said they are socialis socialists. if you look at the companies taking a stand against the nra, that is capitalism, not socialism and that is democracy. these students are changing the world by giving a model, and they are the role model and teachers to the grown ups. and michael can advocate what he wants. his is the voice of the past. the students are the voice of the future and god bless them and it is an honor to be on cnn and write columns backing them to the hilt.

>> do you believe the people criticizing the nra who are calling for stronger gun controls and background checks and to get stricter on guns hate individual freedom? >> no, and first of all, if i can make a comment about what brent said whenever he is going to nominate some of these young high school students. i hope that he listens to all the students and not just those that back his views. because i've also had many students out there that student our plan to train and arm teachers so that they can be protected when they are in school.apierre's comments, i believe all americans appreciate the second amendment and we need to do more to protect the second amendment. because again, we saw in florida there were those supposed to protect us that the sheriffs deputy, they were hiding behind are cars. we need to arm our teachers to make sure that they can protect themselves and the children when those they rely on are too scared too.

>> and i read your plan which you have on your facebook page to protect schools. it does not require teachers in these schools to carry weapons if they don't want to. >> that is correct. it does not foors arce any teac. just allows those who want to and it goes a step further to make sure that they are properly trained. they have to go through same training that a law enforcement officer would go through. >> so if these teachers don't want the liability, they are afraid they will do the wrong thing, they don't want to carry a gun, what then? what about the schools where you won't find the 10% of teachers who want to carry a weapon, what is your plan to protect those students? >> gasoline, when you go through the plan, that is just one part of it. the other part is to have armed guards plain clothed police officers at all the entrances where the doors are unlocked. so we need to protect the perimeter as well as the inside of the school 37. >> how will you pay for that? >> the state and again i can go on and on about the state budget. it's gone from $15 billion to $26 billion.

>> and you want to find money to put plain clothed officer at every door, at every public school across the state? >> the value of my child and he have other child's life, we can't put a number on that. and we have to protect our schools. >> but you have to. >> excuse me? >> you're going to have to put a number on it. these people need to be paid. >> exactly. and it is worth to me to protect our children. again, we relied upon law enforcements that were trained to come in and shaave these kid and they were hiding behind their cars. >> okay. thank you both. and the president is imposing the strongest sanctions yet on north korea. and he is doing so simultaneously as ivanka is in south korea for the closing ceremonies at the olympics. we'll take you to pyeongchang next.
